1,2,6, 24, -------




Answer:

1                              2                              6                              24                           -----

                              1x 2                        1x2x3                    1x2x3x4                1x2x3x4x5

Therefore, answer = 120

Fill in the missing numbers:

5,11, 17,----33, 43





Answer:

5                              11                           17                   ----                         33                           43

        (5 + 17) / 2 = 11                                 (11+ x)/2 = 17        (23 + 43)/2 = 33
                                                                       x = 23                                                   
Therefore, 23  Answer

Answer:

2                              7                              -----                        23                           34                           47

5                              7                              9                              11                           13 (47 – 34)

Therefore,  7 + 7 = 14  Answer
